Planning end of lease cleaning Millgrove before handing back the keys? Moving out of a rental in Millgrove (postcode 3799) comes down to a few practical questions: what does the clean cost, what does it cover, how quickly can it be booked, and what happens if the agent is not satisfied? This page answers each of them using what we state on our site.
Covering Millgrove
Millgrove is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in the Yarra Ranges region on the Warburton Highway, close to Warburton and Wesburn, with the Yarra River and bushland nearby. We are based in Bundoora, and you can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through the free quote form.
Rentals around Millgrove are mostly detached houses rather than apartment blocks, and many are older timber or weatherboard homes. That shapes this page. Older houses tend to have details that a quick wipe-over misses, and a property manager checking against the exit condition report will look at them.
From quote to booking
The process is short and has no hidden steps:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes by phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the job, based on your property.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- Your 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge.
If you want an end of lease cleaning quote Millgrove tenants can compare, have the number of bedrooms and bathrooms ready. Also have a note on anything unusual, such as a wood heater, a sunroom or a detached garage.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a fixed rate for every home. A small unit and a four-bedroom weatherboard do not take the same time, so please call for a price on your property.
When people search for end of lease cleaning prices Millgrove, they usually want one number. We would rather give you an accurate quote than a number that changes once the cleaner walks in.
What is included
The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a vacate cleaning job, that means the areas agents check most closely:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven, cooktop and range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
The same scope applies whether you need house end of lease cleaning or apartment end of lease cleaning Millgrove. Only the size and the time on site change. Our professional bond cleaners work from this list, so you can tick it against your lease paperwork.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants add carpets or windows to the same visit. Carpet steam cleaning is truck-mounted hot water extraction, from $35/room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is from $8/window. If your agent expects windows done and you have a lot of panes, ask for them to be quoted together.
If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, say so when you call. The oven is already part of the standard clean. The carpets and extra window work are priced separately, so the full quote reflects what you actually need.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning Millgrove, because that would depend on what is already booked. If your move-out date is fixed, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what is realistic.
As a rule, book the clean for after your furniture is out and before the final inspection. That gives you room to use the 7-day re-clean guarantee if the agent raises something.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation makes the clean more effective:
- Remove all furniture, boxes and personal items, including from the garage and wardrobes.
- Leave power and water connected so appliances can be cleaned.
- Take down curtains you own, and empty the fridge if it is being turned off.
- Note any damage you already know about, so it is not mistaken for dirt.
In an older Millgrove home, take a quick walk through at the end of your packing. Check window sills with years of dust, the tops of picture rails and door frames, and any original built-in cupboards. These are the spots that are easy to overlook when you are busy.
After the clean
Once the clean is finished, walk through with your exit condition report beside you. Check the oven, bathroom, windows and wardrobes first, as they draw the most comments. If you also had the carpets steam cleaned, give them a few hours to dry before anyone walks on them, and keep shoes off until they are dry.
If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, contact us on 0401 398 705. Under our written guarantee, we return and fix it free of charge. Ask your agent to put the issue in writing so we know exactly what needs attention.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We do bond and end of lease cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning across the metro area. We would rather you understand what you are paying for than be sold on adjectives.
That is also why we do not describe ourselves with labels like cheapest or best. If you are comparing end of lease cleaners, it is more useful to compare what is included, whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much grime has built up in the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- The number of windows and how many have tracks and flyscreens
- Whether you add carpet steam cleaning, at $35/room, or window cleaning, at $8/window
- Whether there is a garage or other outbuilding to sweep out
Searches like cheap end of lease cleaning Millgrove are understandable when you are paying rent and moving costs at the same time. A low number is only good value if it includes the inside of the cupboards, the oven and the windows. Check that before you compare totals.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Doing it yourself costs less in cash, but it takes a long time. Descaling bathrooms, degreasing a range hood and cleaning window tracks properly can easily fill a weekend, usually just when you are also moving. Older homes can add to this, with more sills, more joins and more surfaces to clean.
Booking professionals is a reasonable choice if you are short on time or your lease requires a professional clean. Many Millgrove tenants prefer to do bond cleaning with a written guarantee behind it. We do not promise any particular bond outcome, and a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning is not something we offer. What we do guarantee, in writing, is the 7-day re-clean.
A checklist to hand us
When you ring or fill in the form, these details let us quote accurately:
- Address and whether it is a house, unit or apartment
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odour or stains
- Your move-out date and inspection date
- Anything specific named in your exit condition report or agent’s cleaning list
The term depends on who you ask: exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning Millgrove. They all mean the same job, which is leaving the rental clean enough to meet the report. Use whichever term your agent uses, as we will know what you mean.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep a copy of your quote, your booking confirmation and the written 7-day re-clean guarantee until the bond is settled. Also keep your entry condition report and any photos taken at move-in and move-out. If the agent disputes anything, you will have a record to refer to.
When you are ready, call 0401 398 705 or use the free quote form. We will talk you through the quote and the earliest dates available in the diary.
